The Clariden School

My two children are entering their third year at Clariden (1st and 3rd grades), and we're so thrilled to be returning to such a wonderful school. There is such a wonderful sense of community at the school; all the lower school teachers and kids know each other. My son spent one year at public school in kindergarten and we all have PTSD from that experience! Kids and parents were just another number; no information readily available - if you wanted to know what was going on, it was up to you to figure it out! At Clariden the small class sizes and personal attention is something that both my children have thrived from. We also love the project-based learning method, which teaches kids independent thinking, shows how to incorporate multiple subjects under one topic, and introduces students to public speaking, which will set them up for success later on. I couldn't be happier with the school and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

The Clariden School has been great for our son! He is beginning his third year, as a second grader. Clariden has been an outstanding environment for our son to learn his fundamentals. The small class size, and teacher dedication, help each child reach their potential, at their individual pace. One of the concepts we love most is the Project Based Learning technique. Students dive into a subject matter and then present their learning in front of their peers and parents. He will be well prepared for public speaking from a young age! We highly recommend The Clariden School, where every teacher knows every child`s name!

The Clariden School is like no other school in North Texas. What drew us to it was project-based learning with an emphasis on STEAM. Our son has been here for only a year and has fallen in love with learning. The small class size keeps him engaged and allows the teacher to offer more support/add challenges when needed. The staff and teachers not only know every single student, they know what makes each one of them tick. Being intentionally small benefits the community of learners. Students are required to do a Presentation of Learning (POL) in almost all of their classes multiple times during the year...enabling students to hone their presentation skills from kindergarten through 12th grade. Project-based learning creates critical thinkers. The student body is very diverse and the school ensures that everyone feels welcomed and accepted.

The Clariden School will discover the genius in your child[ren]. I am the proud parent of two Clariden graduates and appreciate how well the School prepared them for university life and learning. We found Clariden when our eldest was in 2nd grade, and our youngest began in Pre-K. The School engages excellent faculty members that are caring and responsive. They appreciate partnering with parents to inspire life-long learning. Your child will be a member of a classroom or grade, but their educational needs will be met individually. For example, our youngest completed two grade levels in one year. The campus is stunning, and the School takes advantage of Bob Jones Park, across the street, for fun outings. The Clariden School values a global perspective, and its student body is a dynamic blend of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. Clariden taught our children how to lead, be valuable team members, and converse with excellence, integrity, compassion, and courage. Through Project Based Learning (PBL), a technique utilized at all grade levels, students develop the skills to present projects to a large audience. Project topics are exciting and engaging, and they change annually. The Clariden community is welcoming, and the parent organization is a great way to get involved and meet community members. We are a part of the Clariden family and continue volunteering and participating in School events. You will not regret contacting and scheduling a tour.

The Clariden has been home to all three of my children for the last 10 years of their schooling, and we could not be happier. I can't think of a better location for my children. The school is situated on acres and acres of a beautiful campus and most recently, we have been blessed to have an addition to our campus, with our new US STEAM building for our High School students. This new STEAM building has the top of the line spaces like a Maker Space, Labs, cutting-edge technology, electronics and tools, and next-generation classrooms. Clariden has catered and customized curriculum to each one of my children, which helps them to work at their full potential. And most importantly, as a mother, I am able to be rest assured that security and safety are a top priority each and every day, as the BEST faculty teach and watch over my children each and every day, like their own. Clariden is a family, Clariden is special, and Clariden is preparing my children for the future! Clariden is our happy place!

Clariden is a great school with small class sizes, the best faculty, and challenging academics. We love their use of the project-based learning method alongside STEAM. The campus is beautiful and inclusive and they often make global awareness a priority. Clariden grows confident, competent, and well-equipped to graduate in a fun environment. Thanks, Clariden team for all you do for the kids!
